The Ministry of Government Efficiency (DOGE) conducted a survey on the results of an unemployment insurance claim on X's eyebrow sharing.
“A preliminary investigation of unemployment insurance claims since 2020” found that thousands of people on future birthdays claim benefits.

Doge Post noted that the survey found that “245,000 people over 115 years old claim $59 million in benefits,” “28K people between 1 and 5 years old claim $254 million in benefits” and “97,000 people over the next 15 years have about $690 million in benefits.”
The post also noted: “In one case, the person on his birthday in 2154 asked for $41,000.”

“Your taxes will pay fraudulent unemployment claims for future-born dummies! It's so crazy that I had to read it a few times before sinking in,” Elon Musk tweeted.
Musk is the first to uncover federal efforts to expose waste, fraud and abuse.
He noted in another article: “The oldest Americans are 114 years old, so it is safe to say that anyone over 115 collects 'unemployed' due to death. There is no sensible person to do the impossible young or impossible elderly people of unemployment insurance.”
